Photographing on black

Playing around with photographing on a black tile in my light box with my macro lens the other day. I must say I haven't used my light box for a long time, so it was fun to get it out and experiment.

 Truss tomatoes - I like the way the red really stands out against the black in this shot - just be careful you clean off all the specs on the black tile or glass - it is amazing how they show up on your image!



Cinnamon quills - 

Star Anise -

old spoons -

This one is mushrooms on a mirror with a black backdrop-


cherries on mirror with white backdrop -


and cinnamon on brown paper

and Orios! on white with white background -


 Thank you for stopping by. Do you spend time playing around and experimenting with your camera? Have a wonderful week.

    The red tomatoes on the black tile are so dramatic. The change of DOF is also very interesting in some of the other photos. A great series!

    Love all your experimental pics, and the results you get. If i had to pic two immediate faves it would be the tomatoes and the oreos. Hmm, new dinner combo perhaps!

    Your pictures are just magical!! My favorite is the one with the cherries, Michigan is a huge cherry producing state. The star anise is great too, hard to believe nature created the pattern. Thanks for the suggestion of making a sentence from a book stack a fun idea. Thanks for stopping by, Laura

    Oh you are genius, absolutely genius...love all of these and you really showed the Cinnamon Quills, which we call simply sticks...I like quills better;', and the Star Anise with incredible detail of texture...very nice! Thank you so very much for your very kinds words written to me recently. It is going to be a long while, but I keep my hopes alive, that is all that one can ever do, in moving forward...Hugs~
